Solution Focused Practice
Solution Focused or Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is an empowering, encouraging and effective talking therapy. Susannah offers Solution Focused sessions through her sister website at Re-find Your Way.
Solution Focused practice first developed as a counselling approach within family-therapy. However, it is now a therapy of choice within many areas including but not limited to:
- mental health support work
- health and social care settings
- trauma recovery
- relationship and bereavement counselling
- school and higher education settings for student support
- employee assistance programmes
Its application has also extended beyond therapy into organisational development, career and sports coaching.
Empowering Change Through Solution Focused Conversations
Why Choose Solutions Focused Practice?
Solution focused practice is respectful and believes that you, the client, are the expert in your own life. If you are considering engaging a therapist or coach, you will have something in your life you wish to overcome, improve or ‘talk through’. Through careful listening and questioning, I will help you to develop a clear vision of how you would prefer your life to be.
The approach encourages you to notice what is working, rather than focusing on the problem or difficulties. Through our conversation I will support you to identify and build on your strengths and resources to move towards your hoped-for outcome.
How Many Sessions?
I support you to achieve your hoped-for-change, as efficiently and effectively as possible. You may only need one session or wish to continue for 10 or more. There is no prescribed therapeutic ‘dose.’
Delivery
SF sessions can be carried out face-to-face, in your own home, by phone, or via zoom. These can be 1:1 or groupwork.
Experience
I am an accredited practitioner with the UK Association of Solution Focused Practitioners (UKASFP) and the International Alliance of Solution Focused Training Institutes (IASTI). I undertake regular training and supervision in the use of Solution Focused practice and currently use this approach for counselling, coaching and in my work as a Speech and Language Therapist.
I work for Green Tree Therapy as a freelance Solution Focused Practitioner.
Susannah is very professional and has an easy and straightforward manner. She has a questioning style which forces me to think about the response. I found it easier for me to get to the root of things that way. Susannah always produces a small report after each session which I value to keep me on track. I would recommend Susannah.
